As a consequence, a lot of its citizens have issues in finding suitable accommodation, and are affected by inappropriately high rental prices. Amongst them there are students, whose hope to build a better future is too often hindered by the failure of getting a basic human need – a place to live. Lacking sufficient social support, they hop from one friends’ couch to another, or reside in expensive hostels, suffering from emotional distress. In such precarious living, squatting becomes for some the solution. The artworks research into the subculture of students occupying empty houses for living. When a basic need is not guaranteed, civil disobedience might take place as a way to confront systematic inadequacy. That is done in creative ways that, as the exhibition shows, put forward reflections on the execution of anti-squatting and vacant property laws. <img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/71142a6d3300ea571eac534efa7a56ea403593d516e36b23ae882fbd197e8c44/I-miss-you-home-Ben-Maier-Dario-di-Paolantonio-Lina-Selg-2.jpg" data-mid="151746173" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/71142a6d3300ea571eac534efa7a56ea403593d516e36b23ae882fbd197e8c44/I-miss-you-home-Ben-Maier-Dario-di-Paolantonio-Lina-Selg-2.jpg" /> https://imissyouhome.com/Exhibitions-and-conversations Wed, 31 Aug 2022 14:27:43 +0000 I miss you, home https://imissyouhome.com/Exhibitions-and-conversations Exhibitions and conversations ︎ National Conference for student housing (2022) Exhibition as part of the event Commissioned by Gemeente Den Haag Nieuwe Kerk, Den Haag Presentation for Alderman Martijn Balster (2022)Visual research into the housing crisisConversation in Den Haag Piep Knars Krijs Kraak (2022) Exhibition Comissioned by Hotel Mokum Amsterdam, The Netherlands I miss you, home (2021) ExhibitionCommissioned by Student &amp; Stad Royal Academy of Art, The Hague D66: How can art influence politics?

Interested in the outer edges of society, she documents the lives and realities of those painfully affected and neglected by the social and political structures of our society. Dario di Paolantonio tackles philosophical questions by inquiring into contemporary issues, focusing on media landscapes and the worlds beyond humans. Ben Maier frames his photographic practice as a visual economist. His explorations via photography are rooted in the nefarious and uneven aspects of neoliberalism that clash with an equitable future
